shower thank you cards again..... please help

firstly I want to thank everyone for all their opinions of where to purchase cards yesterday. I took KatieG2010's advice & went to Marshall's after work & purchased For The Modern Bride thank you cards, a pack of 40 for $3.99!!!

this weekend I will be writing the cards out. I basically have an idea of how to personalize them all, except for one.

a friend of mine gave what my sister likes to call a bag of crap. she claims she thought there would be a wishing well after my sister told her that there was none.
she gave a gift bag with the following items:
1. 2 pack of mini photo albums
2. 2 pack of vomit colored dish towels
3. a multi pack of drain stoppers

what the hell do i write in her thank you card?????

at the shower (3 weeks ago) she mentioned that she would be sending a registry gift but we have not received anything yet. FH said that I should wait & see if we receive anything. the thing is that I am really hurt by the way she acted when she gave me the gift. after I overcame the surprise she ran over to say hello to me & gave me this gift bag. I put it down to say my hellos & she was all oh please open it now. to top it off she works part time in Macy's (where we registered) & she made it a point to say that she pulled up the registry at work & offered for us to use her employee discount.

what should I do????

Just say thank you for the gift bag and coming to your shower.

It suc ks but sadly there is nothing you can do about it. It was a gift, as lame as it might have been it was still a gift...

i think 'thank you for the gift bag and for coming...' is perfect!

I agree with everyone else. Odd that she would practically force you to open a bag of junk at the shower. But regardless, just say thanks for the gifts and for attending. : )

Agree with the above posters.

At our e-party FH's uncle came without a gift and said he will mail us something. I tried to wait until he actually mailed a gift, but didnt so I thanked him for coming. Two days after the thank you went out he purchased something off the registry.
